Good review. Even during the peak of my mainstream rock/metal phase when I was 13 I thought "Hero" and "Awake and Alive" were lame, though I remember "Monster" being a jam

My first band back in middle school covered Monster, it was honestly pretty fun to play back then.

Album Rating: 2.0

Hey Ewok, as a guitar player, I cannot deny that playing that main riff is fairly enjoyable.

found out my room mate also listened to these guys back in the day earlier and we were jamming comatose on the way to work

skillet > ulcerate probably

This album was the shit in high school, but after listening to it now, I question what I was doing with my life back then. I think Awake and Alive deserved a mention because that's the only song I still like on this album, but good review!

I hate this whole album. Alien Youth and Collide are the only two Skillet albums I can really enjoy anymore.
